These results are encouraging because they point to the possibility that brief interventions for problem drinking can be distributed widely and at low cost, helping people who don't come to treatment to deal with their alcohol concerns.

One of the most widely talked about drug rehab scam is the 'rapid detox.' Because the physical withdrawal symptoms associated with physical dependence upon a drug can be so intense, many are looking for a way to bypass those symptoms and "kick" as quickly as possible. Some drug rehab centers promise that you can be free from drug addiction in less than 24 hours with a rapid detox and flushing system that happens on the operating table. Others provide for a week's recovery from drug addiction when you undergo their surgical treatment or quit according to their (very specific and obscure) plan.

Pax, keep up the good work I just read over some of the site and see that you have discovered what I believe to be true also , 12step does not work, Glad to see you are helping people and doing something about this....I truly believe getting to the underlying issues is the way to do it.....God bless you

i am so happy to see someone making a stand on this issue of addiction and the disease concept. A lie that has been sold to the american public for one reason and one reason only. You guessed it (money) and since people need help sometimes to regain control of their lives we as good citizens believe what we are told, Thinking what your doctor says is true and having to admit you are powerless to stop using so you can recieve treatment that does not work. I am not powerless over addiction and your not either.
